I think this film is pretty in a generic way. Some of the best dialogue came through without any words, and that felt really classic to me.
The Accident
The film explores the theme of fate, love and the risk we face when we decide to trust our heart to another person. The film shows how difficult it is to give yourself a chance for happiness after bitter losses and disappointments, as well as how important it is not to be afraid to take a step towards new feelings, even if the path seems too risky.
